Salman Khan urf 'Tubelight' has opted for a new show titled, Supernight With Tubelight, to better introduce fans and followers to the Eid release. Headlined by Salman, Supernight With Tubelight features Ali Asgar and Sugandha Mishra, comedians who walked out of Kapil Sharma's show after he allegedly assaulted co-star Sunil Grover. The new show featuring Ali Asgar and team will also be aired on Sony Television, the channel that currently airs The Kapil Sharma Show, the views of which had begun dwindling since Kapil Sharma was accused of harassing Mr Grover on a flight. The channel recently released the promo of Supernight With Tubelight, in which Sanket Bhosle can also be seen featuring with Salman, Ali and Sugandha. Supernight With Tubelight will expectedly be a two-hour show.

The 51-year-old actor had earlier promoted Sultan in 2015 and Bajrangi Bhaijaan the following year on The Kapil Sharma Show. For the uninitiated, Kapil Sharma verbally abused and physically assaulted Mr Grover when the show's team was on a flight back from Australia. Mr Sharma was widely criticised for his alleged assault by fans of the show - a reflection of which is the sharp dip in the viewership of his show. Mr Grover quit the show and Ali Asgar, Sugandha Mishra and Chandan Prabhakar followed. It was reported that celebrities also refused to feature on Kapil Sharma's show.

Meanwhile, The Kapil Sharma Show did not make it on air last Sunday. The June 4 episode was expected to feature Paresh Rawal but reportedly could not be shot after Mr Sharma was rushed to the hospital and treated for high blood pressure.
